This is one of those nice, permissive Python features but I was
wondering how often people actually use lists holding several different
types of objects.
It looks like whenever I need to group different objects I create a
class, if only so I can use more meaningful names than '[2]' for the items.
How often do these show up in your code?
Is this simply the upshot of the underlying arrays holding only object
references of some sort?

Depends on the definition of 'type'. I often have instances of different
- possibly unrelated - classes in a same list. Fact is that these
instances usually share a common (implied) interface, but, well,
sometimes they don't...

You may not know, but Python has a builtin dict (ie : hashtable) type.
It's very handy when you just want to "group different objects" while
still using meaningful names.

I love my lists of classes. I know, I'll go to hell for that.

how else would you implement an n-ary tree? eg, AST, CST, minimax, GP.

I do it all the time - I only use tuples when I _have_ to.

You don't have to be so array-minded. You can write things like:
address = 2
individual_list[address]
this is easier to read and understand than:
individual_list[2]
and does the same thing.
I have found that the most useful data structure is a dict,
or a dict of dicts. - almost an instant database.

What about the validation of such "heterogeneous" XML documents?
Not only are various fragments probably governed by different

I defined a base class in order to put heterogeneous values into a
standard container: All values that I store in the container are
derived from my base class.
Now when I iterate over the elements of the container and want my
original values back - can I avoid excessive casting and if
statements? (see my sample code below.) Can I make it more elegant?

Hi Guys,
I have one stored procedure on SQL 6.5 and retrieving data from SQL
2000. I have defined a linked server on SQL 6.5. But
I am getting following error:-
"Heterogeneous queries require the ANSI_NULLS and ANSI_WARNINGS options
to be set for the connection. This ensures consistent query semantics.
Enable these options and then reissue your query."

Dear all,
1)In one of our implementation for an application we are supposed to
collate two linked lists.The actual problem is like this:
There are two singularly linked lists, the final output will be a
"perfectly shuffle" of the lists together into a single list. The new
list should consist of consecutively alternating nodes from both
lists.Note that both these linked lists have same kind of data
structure in their nodes.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
